"That hardly seems helpful. I mean if it's insisting we help, maybe it lets us know what exactly we're supposed to be helping with?" Pansy jerked back when Ariel touched her. Even if she really was as friendly as she was trying to be, she most definitely wasn't used to strangers touching her. Letting out a strained huff of laughter, she tried to cover her knee jerk reaction. She cleared her throat and rubbed at the part of her arm that Ariel had touched. "Yes, I'm sure you are."
This crap her father pulled sounded like a load of crap to Pansy. "So one person does something your father doesn't like and he bans everyone else from participating? That hardly seems fair." Or smart, but she actually managed to not say that part. In her estimation, cutting people off of magic when they could use it was as straight line to weakening your people. "People can survive lots of things. Doesn't make it right." Pansy eyed Ariel a bit. She really didn't understand this woman at all.
